Channels You Receive. First, if you had to make a guess about your provider or lineup,
verify that the channel numbers match the networks on this list. (For example, if you had
the lineup illustrated on the left, is channel 2 actually KTVU?) If you aren't sure, refer to
the channel guide or quick-reference card from your cable or satellite company.
Next, add or remove checkmarks—so that the list reflects the channels you actually
subscribe to—by highlighting a channel and pressing SELECT. (Some types of satellite
boxes will get stuck on channels you don't receive if they are selected here, so be sure to
de-select the channels you don't receive.)
You can also customize this channel list to reflect your viewing preferences. If you never
watch a particular channel, and don't plan to set up recordings or let TiVo search for
programs on it, remove the checkmark next to that channel.
The TiVo service only searches for programs on channels that have a checkmark. Also, the
CHAN UP/DOWN button skips channels that don't have a checkmark in this list.
Finally, highlight "Done selecting channels" and press SELECT to continue. If you change
your mind, you can easily make changes after you finish Guided Setup. (See page 51.)
Channel Changing. If you use a cable or satellite box, your Recorder needs to send it a
signal in order to change channels. The Recorder does this through an IR (infrared) or
serial connection. Make sure that the connection described on this screen matches what
you have used to connect your cable or satellite box to your Recorder. For help choosing
and setting up a connection, see the Start Here booklet and the Installation Guide. After
Guided Setup, if your channels don't change, see troubleshooting steps on page 122.
Connection to Recorder. These screens ask what type of video cable you used to connect
your cable or satellite box to your Recorder. Choose your configuration from the three
choices described on page 7. (Hint: the first one is the most common.)
